THE KNOCKOUT PACKS AN EVEN BIGGER PUNCH IN OLIVE & BLACK
The original Knockout continues to deliver knockout good looks and top performance. But now Kershaw has kicked it up a notch with an olive-green handle and Damascus blade.
The olive-and-black Knockout still has its namesake "knocked out" section in the handle. This knocked-out piece in the anodized aluminum frame is replaced with a stainless-steel plate to form Kershaw's sub-frame lock. This steel plate moves behind the knife blade to lock it open safely and securely. Yet because only part of the knife handle or frame is steel, the Knockout can maintain a lighter fighting weight and still provide a strong lock. The result is a knife that's big, yet lightweight enough to carry every day.
The blade is a modified drop point made with high performance Damascus steel. Damascus is a highly sought after steel made through repeated heating and forging different steels. It creates beautiful, unique patterns that mesmerize the eye. It's shaped into a 3.25 inch drop point which is known for its versatility.
The Knockout is equipped with SpeedSafe® assisted opening for smooth and easy one-handed opening. Just pull back on the built-in flipper or push on the thumbstud and the blade moves out of the handle quickly and easily.
The new olive-and-black Knockout also comes with Kershaw's deep-carry pocketclip so the knife can sit all the way down in the pocket. Even better, the handle is drilled for 4-position carry. Lightweight and versatile, this Knockout provides a new color combination that will make it an ongoing favorite.
